SUMMIT COUNTY, OHIO—Summit County Executive Ilene Shapiro is encouraging teens and young adults to apply for the annual Summer Youth Employment Program (SYEP) by May 15.

Only one application may be submitted per household, and each household must meet the minor-child requirement and have an income that does not exceed 200% of the federal poverty level.
In 2022, SYEP saw participation from 127 young people who collectively earned $203,141 working for employers such as the Akron Zoo, Crave Restaurant, Lock 3, Shanti Community Farms, Students with a Goal (SWAG), and The Workz.
